PrereqRun `npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server init --client {claude,cursor,windsurf,vscode,gemini}` to write the client config and authorise interactively. Add `--read-only` for diagnostic agents. Add `--tools auth0_list_*,auth0_get_*` to scope the agent to read paths. NPM package: `@auth0/auth0-mcp-server`. Path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS).

OUR ASSESSMENT

Strengths
  • Official Auth0 vendor maintenance.
  • 11 commits on main in the last 30 days.
  • MIT licence.
  • Five-client install with one command (npx @auth0/auth0-mcp-server init --client {claude,cursor,windsurf,vscode,gemini}).
  • Read-only mode and tool-glob filtering give clear scoping primitives.
  • Interactive tenant authentication (no manual token paste).
  • Published to npm as @auth0/auth0-mcp-server with active beta releases (current 0.1.0-beta.11 from 2026-04-20).
Weaknesses
  • Beta software per the README; Auth0 documents that features, APIs, and functionality may change.
  • 106 GitHub stars at time of review; adoption signal is modest.
  • Single-tenant scoping per init; multi-tenant operators run separate configs.
  • Beta status carries Auth0 caution against production use; verify your support contract before deploying broadly.
Security Notes

The MCP holds Auth0 Management API access through the interactive tenant authorisation flow. Use --read-only for diagnostic agents. Use --tools auth0_list_,auth0_get_ to lock the agent to read paths. The --client flag writes to the corresponding client config file (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.); review the written config for unexpected entries before running the agent. Tokens are stored in the OS keychain on macOS and Linux; on Windows, review the credential store path documented in the README.

Best For

Auth0 customers running an enterprise tenant where engineers already manage Auth0 from the dashboard and want agent access to common operations; workflows that bootstrap apps, deploy Actions, or debug logs from inside the editor while leaving the Auth0 dashboard for deeper audits; read-only audit operations using the --read-only flag plus tool-glob filtering.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION

We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 5 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
